He was more interested in having the job than in doing the job - Deval Patrick

1. Mitt Romney Ignores Time As Governor On Campaign Trail

Though Mitt Romney has defended his business record against attacks, there is a part of his past that he's more reluctant to discuss -- his time as Massachusetts' governor.

The presumptive GOP presidential candidate continually faced trouble over stances he took as governor of the Bay State, particularly on health care and abortion. Despite Romney's hesitation, Deval Patrick -- the current Democratic governor of Massachusetts -- told Politico Romney's work with health care reform was "profoundly important" to the states' residents.

“He did one profoundly important thing, and nobody can take it away from him, and that’s health care reform -- and he doesn’t want to talk about that,” added Patrick, who is close to Obama. “The impression he left with people here was he was more interested in having the job [of governor] than doing the job.”

In the past, Romney has avoided the topic of health care, putting more emphasis on his time at Bain Capital. Lately, he's even refused to partake in a full discussion on his business career thanks to new attacks by the Obama campaign.
